That's only if you don't count his stats pre-trade. He's 5.20 including them.

There are few teams I enjoy seeing the Royals lose to less than the flipping Sox. Hope Moose and Billy dig in.

More foreshadowing! Sometimes these games just happen where the team is simply hitting it where the defense isn't at.

Not sure why you're on an anti-Moose rant right now, but he's in the midst of a season that's probably going to end up being a 3.4-4.0 WAR. He's the third most valuable 3B in the American League, and he's 23.

He also has a .270 BABIP this year, so his average (and OBP) are a little deflated as a result. Considering the gains he has made as a defender, his offense doesn't have to carry him as much as it would have when it looked like he'd be below average.

Even if he's a .270/.320/.450 hitter with 25 HR moving forward, that's an incredibly valuable player if he's playing the same level of defense.

mr. tegu

It's nice to see Hosmer playing better as of late. Batting .288 with an OBP of .356 in August.

And like four HR? Edit: 3 HR
